bad and good

It's been a long week. I've worked at the ridiculous bookstore twice, and had a really annoying interview with a human resources company (oh lucky me, I will be allowed to be part of a stuffing assembly line for four days after christmas). Wednesday morning I DESPERATELY needed coffee, so of course after purchasing said coffee at 6:45 am, I took a corner too fast and spilled it all over my feet under the gas pedal. LOVELY. I went back to the gas station and the lady behind the counter gave me a refill for free after I told her I'd spilled the first one, which was super awesome and very friendly of her. But still. It was not a good way to start out the day.

On the bright side... the car has smelled vaguely like cat pee for two months, and now it smells like gas station coffee. Which is, you know, one step up. Maybe I should buy some really expensive kona coffee and spill THAT in there.

ANYWAY.

There is a new boy in my life. I feel some guilt about this (quite a lot, in fact). It is, however, largely overshadowed by my absurd happiness. I had forgotten what it was like to be happy. It's... fantastic.

In other other news... I finally got my healer druid to 80. It was painful. I miss my hunter and will be leveling her as quickly as possible once my hatred of all things warcrafty wears off (I leveled the druid way too quickly and under too much pressure. the whole game annoys me right now). But in the meantime, I can at least get back into raiding with the druid.

Also, I started playing D&D with my cousin and some of her friends. Only two of us have ever played before (my cousin and the DM), but none of us has ever played 4th edition. And the DM has never DMed. So far we are all learning the basics of how the game works, but I think we will get better quickly. I've purchased dice and a D&D player's handbook (OMG I'm a real nerd now!) and am LOVING finally being able to play. There were guys who played when I was in high school, but they never let me join them, and I've been dying to get into a group ever since.

ANYway. aNYway. anyWAY... Sorry. High school inside joke.

I need a real job. And to move to California. And then life will be absolutely perfect.

O.O Ok, you have to tell me about this new guy. :D I promise I won't tell anyone else.

Excellent. There is much telling to be done. :-D

Hay... don't move to California :( I like you too much. You are stuck here FOREVAR.

There is a coffee place on Bulldog Blvd, it's in the little strip-mall next to Macey's. It's called Pods or something...Coffee Pod? Podface? I have no idea. But every time I see it I think of you, so now I am telling you. Take that.

MOVE TO CALIFORNIA WITH MEEEEE. I'm not staying in Utah forever. You guys rock, but dude. Utah?.... UTAH??

Yaaay, I will have to go find this coffee place and make myself a nuisance there.

Yeah I would love to move to California, but their prices make me want to kill myself so there's just no way. Seriously - $1200/mo for a studio apartment in the scuzzy part of town? No. Just... no.

"ridiculous bookstore..." does that mean "sells ridiculous books," or that the store is ridiculous?

I feel you on the real job thing...

[oceantheorem.livejournal.com]

Well, it's ridiculous in that it's like.... "Kara, she of the 4.0, who graduated in 3 years from UC Santa Cruz, and who holds a Master's degree in Genetics from Yale University... is working as a cashier for eight dollars an hour at a state college bookstore."
I hate the economy right now. It makes me feel like I'm wasting my life.

Hopefully you and I will both get real jobs soon. Fingers crossed.

Re: the economy. No to the freakin' kidding. Hey, I guess that can be my excuse for not being in school right now - no one would hire me anyway. Sweet!!
